      +pfflyers1 I've not really ever done what he has really but i plunge loads of money into my cars, i do it for the love of the things.... whether something is financially sensible never really comes into it. If the car needs it then i buy it, if i really want it i save up and get it. :)

      +blu73 I have a '73 911 I bought without a drivetrain 20 yrs ago. For what I've spent on it I could be driving a Bugatti.

      NuclearGrizzly Is that a 73 911 RS?

    • @NuclearGrizzly
      @NuclearGrizzly 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      pfflyers1 I wish. It's a late '73 that would have come with the CIS fuel injection but like I said, I bought it with no drivetrain. Now it has a later 3.0 twin plug, a 915 tranny with LSD, brakes from a late 80's Turbo with a host of suspension and chassis upgrades.
      Wonderfully reliable but I just can't stop "improving" on it. It's my money pit.
      I have my eye on a low mileage 3.6 at my local salvage yard.

      +Carter Kelly Kramer Believe me, 2002 enthusiast would pick your creation over a stock 2002 any day. I had a very nice Tii and you cant really enjoy it 'cause it would loose too much value if it crashed or got hit by a careless driver. As nice as my 2002 was I think yours is a beauty that resembles a 2002 Alpina which in my opinion was the pinacle even compared to the 2002 Turbo.

      It is a beautiful story presented by the good folks of Petrolicious - beautifully told by Carter.
      I really hope he sticks to his attitude and keeps the car.
      What many people not understand when seeing a vintage car modified with such a history as his and see it sitting "improperly restored", wearing their aristocratic noses high up is:
      A car is just like the human who lives with it - it evolves over times, it ages and it goes through the very same stages in it's life as the owner does if the car stays with the owner.
      Carter's story is absolutely sweet - the car being crashed and manhandled in teenagers attitude and lack of knowing better at the time.
      It looks beautiful now and surely gives the owner all the pleasure, it's value indeed priceless to the owner I am sure.
      Who knows - it might even stay around to be given a concours restoration by Carter by the time he hits his 40's
      Thanks for telling the story Carter and thanks to Petrolicious for presenting it with the style we all love these stories to be told as true car nuts.

    I fucking hate when people say somethig like, "why are you putting so much money into your car? You're never going to get it back." They generally are just Joe Smoe who sees a car as an object to get from point A to Point B and don't understand. Like he says in the video we don't care about resale value because we build the car we want, not a car to sell.

    I love these old BMWs. I’m 68 years old and of all the cars I have owned the one car I loved the most was my 1969 BMW 1602 that I had in the late 70’s. It too was orange and and nicknamed the “Pumpkin” by my friends. I bought it from a dealer for $500 and it had a lot of problems. But, for all its problems, on a good day it was magic. I wish I had kept it and learned how to repair it like you did.

    • @ef_danielsan
      @ef_danielsan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Part of this is true. My best friend's car got rear ended, insurance company declared it salvaged. They paid him on it and offered him the car for an additional $300 at the time. He didn't want it because it broke his heart that his car was wrecked. I paid the $300 to him, registered the car as salvaged, and actually drove it around for a bit because while the frame was bent, the car was driveable. I couldn't ever sell it, as in my heart I felt he gifted me the car. After a few years, I only took it out occasionally, but it was mostly garaged. Almost 20 years later, as middle aged men, both of us are restoring it in my garage. As we were happily gutting the car recently to access the frame damage, I said, "if this car hadn't gotten into that accident, you would've probably sold it by now". Both of us felt it was a blessing that we got a second chance with this car.

These illegal immigrants even have Hillary Clinton (their savior) shamed into calling them "undocumented". Now that's funny! But whatever you do, do NOT go into their country illegally or their police will arrest you and deport you immediately (which is typical of any country around the world except the United States). Of course the Democrats will see that he and his entire illegal family can stay here because eventually, when they receive legal status, they will consistently vote for Democrat political candidates.
